I've been on the boards for many years, and recently started working at my brothers company, B+D Enterprises , which sells electronic tools and equipment to the industrial repair, hobby, DIY and prosumer markets. We're an authorized distributor for quite a few lines, including the entire Wera handtool line:

Nebo lighting (the Larry is one of my favorites since it's magnetic and has a handy clip) :

or a lovely bench-top Hakko digital soldering station, perhaps?

We also stock solder, flux, capacitors, resistors, integrated circuits (come on, I know you want one!) and tons of other stuff. We're adding product lines all the time. The Portasol portable butane powered soldering irons should be online within a few days, and I'll repost when they're up and available on the store (I keep one in my tankbag for wire soldering, lighting cigars, the occasional branding iron need, etc...)

We're a small family owned business, with a great reputation, headquartered in Western PA that's been around for over 35 years.

So we just launched our new site a few days ago , and I wanted to offer a special discount for all ADV member

- 18% off your entire purchase. Use code: ADV18 during checkout, and the discount will be automatically applied.

I think you'll find our prices very competitive. We also have an excellent Amazon reputation and 100% eBay rating!

Please let me know if you have any questions. You can also email our sales staff if you have any questions about transistors or surface mount caps.
